Picking flax and spinning strings is a waste of time, and time is money. I certainly wouldn't bother doing that unless you like the satisfaction of doing everything yourself. ~q

Best way to do trolls as a slayer task is to cannon ice trolls. Lightning fast and GREAT drops. Here's a complete guide on how to do it. ~q

I love both Jatizso and Neitiznot. Another favorite spot is the docks south of Burgh de Rott. 5 or 6 shark spots, 2 clicks from a bank and NO people. ~q

Mime. Slow, tedious, boring and I've had full mime for ages so the reward stinks.

Unless they recently changed it, you CAN use a cannon there. It's just not really a good use of it. Pretty nice guide otherwise. ~q

The best was when Jagex put "Hold onto your hats" in a BTS. A bunch of ignoramuses who had never heard the expression decided this meant Robins would be discontinued... rumors spread and they doubled in price in 24 hours. Jagex had to come out and explicitly say that what they meant. :D ~q

Both at once. And it's not hard to do. ~q

These are what are going to be the biggest impacts for high level herblorists. I always appreciate anti-scam updates, but this is going to be very bad even for honest players.

They're making a new skill called "Speculation"? Cool. I bet a bunch of people here will get 99 in it very quickly. ;) ~q

The best way to 'start from scratch' when you have no money is to gather resources for Herblore. For example, you could go get red spider eggs or snape grass... collect 1k, sell, and you're in business. ~q

They still hit hard with dhide but much worse with melee gear.. even Guthans doesn't work that well on them. ~q

What is the point of speculating about something nobody knows anything about?

The best way is to buy unids using the anti-scam method, make potions from the better herbs and sell the others. ~q

Flax is rather slow at pretty much any level. Make rings. Decent XP and you can make good money at it. Or if you want to spend money, use glass. ~q

This page of my comprehensive Giant Mole Exterminator's Handbook lists all the common and rare drops and tells you how often you'll get them. Also shows you typical seed/ring rewards from the claws and skins. ~q

It seems like they kill faster than they do. :) The real problem is that it takes 2-3 minutes to bank and 1.5-2 minutes to run to where the dragons are... and that really slows things down, assuming you want to keep the hides and bones.. or even if you bury the bones and keep the hides. I just did a test, found a world where there was nobody at one of the green dragon spots (or 1 person) and I buried bones instead of banking. I was able to kill 20 in a total of 10.5 minutes. Add 2.5 minutes for banking and such... and you get about 92 per hour. If there are other people around it is a LOT slower... probably 60 or so an hour at best. Hope you are feeling better soon. :) ~q

Thanks robgrout. It's too big for forum posts. I offered it (free, just a link) to Tip.It for the Monster Slaying section, but was told by an admin that Tip.It won't publish anything unless it is exclusive. Obviously I am not going to remove it from my own site so that didn't work out. :) ~q

A real friend would understand your concerns and not push the issue. ~q

No offense, but these numbers are completely unrealistic. There is respawn time to take into account, and competition for the dragons. And you cannot kill green dragons in an average of 16 seconds, no way. It takes over a minute just to get to the dragons from a bank. I'm level 120 and I just tested.. it took me 7 minutes to kill 12 greens, and that's not including banking time. I'd say that a high level could probably average maybe 100 kills per hour if they were very lucky -- probably 60 to 80 would be more realistic. Edit: With only 1 dragon to kill (other 2 occupied) it took 8 minutes to kill 11. ~q

Don't remember exactly, but I'd guess 5-10 hours. ~q

Ranging is actually one of the better ways to go, but your ranging level is a bit low, which means it will cost you more to kill them. Your prayer level is also low, and having prayer is really important with miths. On my site I have a very extensive guide to killing mith dragons that really will tell you "all about them": strengths and weaknesses, tactics, common and rare drops, location and positioning and so forth. I outline a basic ranged technique and an advanced ranged method, both with equipment lists, diagrams and advice. ~q

Not going to flame you.. but what you and some others don't understand is that Jagex doesn't give a fig about the maturity level of its players. They want money. Lots of money. That's all they really care about. And they know that the main audience for this game is pre-teens and teens, so they are certainly not going to do anything that makes it difficult for new members to sign up. ~q

Jagex has already explicitly said they will not do this. Much as I personally would like it, I can understand why they won't. ~q

This issue is important if only because if you can be pressured or taunted into doing something stupid in the game, you can usually be pressured or taunted into doing something stupid in the real world. The solution in both cases is to know yourself and be willing to stand up for what you believe and want to do, rather than defining yourself based on what others say or do. Be strong, and avoid those who try to lead you in the wrong direction. ~q

I think you have misunderstood my comments. :shame: FYI I'm not a nasty player, quite the opposite. Go flame somewhere else. :-# I understood your comments perfectly. And I didn't call you a nasty player. ~q
